MacCam is a free, native camera app for macOS. Take photos and videos with your Mac's camera, iPhone or any webcam - straight into Apple Photos. Classic Photo Booth effects plus Portrait, Studio Light and Edge Light built in. Coming to Pro: a teleprompter, eye contact and knock to shoot - free for life for the first 100,000.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Milan from Zurich. Every Mac has a great camera, but there has never been a simple app to just take a good photo with it. Photo Booth is for fun, FaceTime is for calls. So I built the camera app I think Apple would have shipped. What MacCam does: 📸 Photo & video in one click (or Space), with pause and resume 📱 Mac camera, iPhone via Continuity Camera or any USB webcam ✨ The classic Photo Booth effects - plus macOS Portrait, Studio Light and Edge Light built in 🎨 Photographic Styles you can tune by contrast, warmth and tint while you shoot 🖼️ Everything lands in Apple Photos, so iCloud puts it on your iPhone a moment later 🔒 The picture never leaves your Mac It's free. The first 100,000 people also get a lifetime Pro license - Pro will add a teleprompter that scrolls with your voice, eye-contact correction and knock to shoot (knock next to your MacBook to take a photo). Needs macOS 15+ on Apple silicon. I'd love your feedback - what should a Mac camera app do that none does today?

Taking photos or video on the Mac and having it land straight in Apple Photos is exactly how this should work. Native and simple, and the Portrait and Studio Light modes are a nice touch.

Thanks, Fredric! I’m glad the app adds value for you. By the way, try snapping your fingers twice or clapping to take a picture or start/stop a video 😉
